Section 4: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode 
when entering characters into your phone. This section also 
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to 
reduce the number of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can 
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (portrait) or sideways 
(landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text. If the 
phone is sideways, an on-screen, QWERTY keypad is displayed. 
When upright, the alphanumeric keypad is displayed.
Keys
You can enter characters into your phone by using an on-screen 
portrait keypad or a landscape QWERTY keypad. Depending on 
which format you use, the keys are associated with different 
letters, special characters, or numbers. Refer to the following 
layouts to determine which keys are associated with letters, 
special characters, or numbers.
From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone 
counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation and the on-screen 
QWERTY keypad displays.
